Wita Stwosza 59, Poland 3 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: From a small village Wyskok and its surroundings 324 species of Macromycetes are recorded in years 1998–2017. Among the species reported 38 are Polish red-listed mushrooms: rare (23), vulnerable (8), endangered (3), extinct (1) and of indetermined threat (3). Ganoderma lucidum and Polyporus umbellatus are partially protected by law in Poland. At present in the vicinity of the Oświn lake (Nature Reserve of the Seven Islands Lake) 325 species of Macromycetes are known to occur. Key words: Fungi, Macromycetes, Poland, Masurian Lakeland, Oświn lake, Nature Reserve of the Seven Islands Lake. INTRODUCTION Wyskok is a small village situated at the Oświn Lake (Fig. 1) in north Masurian Lakeland on the area protected by Natura 2000 covered by two bird’s refuges: western part – Ostoja Warmińska PLB 280015; eastern part – Jezioro Oświn i okolice PLB 280004. In northern Masuria distribution of Macromycetes is poorly studied. In the vicinity of the Oświn Lake (Nature Reserve of the Seven Islands Lake) only 18 species of Macromycetes were reported earlier by KLOSS & KUCHARSKI (2005). Senior authors Christel and Hans W. Hoffeins of Hamburg during their holidays spent in the Wyskok village, dokumented findings of mushrooms year by year. During a long period from 1998 to 2017 they were able to identify 324 mushrooms to species level herewith presented. 1 MATERIAL AND METHODS Mushrooms were collected in the Wyskok village 10 km north of Srokowo, 15 km north- west of Węgorzewo, at the Oświn Lake (Fig. 1). Study area stretches between longitudes 21°31’ – 21°33’ E and latitudes 54°16’ – 54°19’ N. Forests and fields with wooden patches here are typical of Masuria. Forests usually mixed with Picea, Pinus, Quercus, Betula, Populus, Tilia, Fraxinus, Carpinus, Acer, Sorbus, Corylus, etc. Macromycetes were collected in the following periods: 19 June – 2 July 1999, 28 August to 25 September 1998, 2000 – 2017. In September 2002 no mushrooms at all were found except of perennial Polyporales because of extremely high aridness without any rain since June. For identification we used keys by GERHARDT (2001), LANGE & LANGE (1973) and PETER (1960). The classification and systematics we follow www.mycobank.org. If a taxon name was not on display, information was drawn from https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Fungi. Of course, some species found in forests and fields remained unidentified, especially those of the Cortinariaceae family and mushrooms growing on faeces of wild animals. Photos of mushrooms were made with Nikon E4500, Nikon Coolpix S8000, Canon IXUS 140 and Samsung Android 5.0. Abbreviations for Polish red list of fungi (WojeWoda & ŁaWrynoWicz 2006) are as follows: Ex – extinct or lost, E – endangered, V – vulnerable, R – rare, I – indetermined threat.

Laccariopsis is morphologically close to these genera but distinguished by a unique combination of features: a Laccaria-like habit (distant, thick, subdecurrent lamellae), viscid pileus and upper stipe, glabrous stipe with a long pseudorhiza connecting with Ammophila and Juniperus roots and incorporating plant debris and sand particles, pileipellis consisting of a loose ixohymeniderm with slender pileocystidia, large and thin- to thick-walled spores and basidia, thin- to slightly thick-walled hymenial cystidia and caulocystidia, and monomitic stipe tissue. Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined ITS-LSU sequence dataset place Laccariopsis close to Gloiocephala and Rhizomarasmius. Key words — Agaricomycetes, Physalacriaceae, /gloiocephala clade, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Hydropus mediterraneus was originally described by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) based on collections from Mediterranean dune ecosystems in Central Italy, Sardinia, and Tunisia. Previous collections were misidentified as Laccaria maritima (Theodor.) Singer ex Huhtinen (Dal Savio 1984) due to their laccarioid habit. The generic attribution to Hydropus Kühner ex Singer by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) was due mainly to the presence of reddish watery droplets on young lamellae and sarcodimitic tissue in the stipe (Corner 1966, Singer 1982).

  • LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N
    Journal of the Lundy Field Society, 2, 2010 LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N. HEDGER1, J. DAVID GEORGE2, GARETH W. GRIFFITH3, DILUKA PEIRIS1 1School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London, W1M 8JS 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD 3Institute of Biological Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of Aberystwyth, SY23 3DD Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The results of four five-day field surveys of fungi carried out yearly on Lundy from 2004-08 are reported and the results compared with the previous survey by ourselves in 2003 and to records made prior to 2003 by members of the LFS. 240 taxa were identified of which 159 appear to be new records for the island. Seasonal distribution, habitat and resource preferences are discussed. Keywords: Fungi, ecology, biodiversity, conservation, grassland INTRODUCTION Hedger & George (2004) published a list of 108 taxa of fungi found on Lundy during a five-day survey carried out in October 2003. They also included in this paper the records of 95 species of fungi made from 1970 onwards, mostly abstracted from the Annual Reports of the Lundy Field Society, and found that their own survey had added 70 additional records, giving a total of 156 taxa. They concluded that further surveys would undoubtedly add to the database, especially since the autumn of 2003 had been exceptionally dry, and as a consequence the fruiting of the larger fleshy fungi on Lundy, especially the grassland species, had been very poor, resulting in under-recording. Further five-day surveys were therefore carried out each year from 2004-08, three in the autumn, 8-12 November 2004, 4-9 November 2007, 3-11 November 2008, one in winter, 23-27 January 2006 and one in spring, 9-16 April 2005.

China * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—Three wood-decaying fungi, Ceriporiopsis lagerheimii, Sebipora aquosa, and Tyromyces xuchilensis, are newly recorded in China. The identifications were based on morphological and molecular evidence. The phylogenetic tree inferred from ITS+nLSU sequences of 49 species of Polyporales nests C. lagerheimii within the phlebioid clade, S. aquosa within the gelatoporia clade, and T. xuchilensis within the residual polyporoid clade. The three species are described and illustrated based on Chinese material. Key words—Basidiomycota, polypore, taxonomy, white rot fungus Introduction Wood-decaying fungi play a key role in recycling nutrients of forest ecosystems by decomposing cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin of the plant cell walls (Floudas et al. 2015). Polyporales, a large order in Basidiomycota, includes many important genera of wood-decaying fungi. Recent molecular studies employing multi-gene datasets have helped to provide a phylogenetic overview of Polyporales, in which thirty-four valid families are now recognized (Binder et al. 2013). The diversity of wood-decaying fungi is very high in China because of the large landscape ranging from boreal to tropical zones. More than 1200 species of wood-decaying fungi have been found in China (Dai 2011, 2012), and some a Chang-lin Zhao and Shi-liang Liu contributed equally to this work and share first-author status 30 ..

(2005): Central European genera of the Boletaceae and Suillaceae, with notes on their anatomical characters. - Czech Mycol. 57: 1-50. A taxonomic survey of Central European genera of the families Boletaceae and Suillaceae with tubular hymenophores, including the lamellate Phylloporus, is presented. Questions concerning the delimitation of the bolete genera are discussed. Descriptions and keys to the families and genera are based predominantly on anatomical characters of the carpophores. Attention is also paid to peripheral layers of stipe tissue, whose anatomical structure has not been sufficiently studied. The study of these layers, above all of the caulohymenium and the lateral stipe stratum, can provide information important for a better understanding of relationships between taxonomic groups in these families. The presence (or absence) of the caulohymenium with spore-bearing caulobasidia on the stipe surface is here considered as a significant ge­ neric character of boletes. A new combination, Pseudoboletus astraeicola (Imazeki) Šutara, is proposed. Key words: Boletaceae, Suillaceae, generic taxonomy, anatomical characters. Šutara J.

  • Isolation, Characterisation and Biological Activity of Melanin from Exidia Nigricans
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 91 (2018) 111-129 EISSN 2392-2192 Isolation, characterisation and biological activity of melanin from Exidia nigricans Łukasz Łopusiewicz Center of Bioimmobilisation and Innovative Packaging Materials, Faculty of Food Sciences and Fisheries, West Pomeranian University of Technology Szczecin, 35 Janickiego Str., Szczecin 71-270, Poland E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The aim of present study was isolation and characteriation of raw and purified melanin from Exidia nigricans. Native melanin was isolated from the fresh E. nigricans fruiting bodies by alkaline extraction. Obtained pigment was purifed by acid hydrolysis and washed by organic solvents. Chemical tests, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy analysis were conducted to determine the melanin nature of the isolated pigment. UV-Vis, transmittance and colour properties were evaluated. Antioxidant activity was determined using ABTS and antibacterial activity by a well diffusion method. The results of the study demonstrated that melanins isolated from E. nigricans had antioxidant, light barrier and antibacterial properties. A purified form of melanin offered better light properties and higher antioxidant activity than the raw form. Both melanins inhibited the growth of E. facealis and P. aeruginosa. This study revealed that E. nigricans may be considered as a promising source of natural melanin. Isolated pigments presented all the physical and chemical properties common to natural and synthetic melanins. Raw and purified melanins showed differences in chemical composition, antioxidant activity and light barrier properties. Melanin may play pivotal role in physiology of E. nigricans protecting it against UV radiation and dessication.
